A lot of companies have been reducing their choccy bars in size so that they are now under 250kcals to fall in line with some new legislation or guideline for healthier eating.
Possibly but another factor is the large increase in the cost of cocoa.Chocolate bars tend to be an impulse purchase. If the price rose to cover the additional cost of the cocoa people would be far less likely to buy them. Hence, they make the bar smaller but keep the price the same.

Bit of both it seems http://food.uk.msn.com/food/chocolate-bars-under-2...Chocolate bars tend to be an impulse purchase. If the price rose to cover the additional cost of the cocoa people would be far less likely to buy them. Hence, they make the bar smaller but keep the price the same.

Bunch o' s. Seems "limited" means size rather than being something special. Bought a 3 pack and the individual bars are tiny. Or my hands have grown in the last couple of years.
Multipack bars seem to be smaller than individual bars too.My husband bought a pack of Wispas last week and I asked him why he'd bought funsize ones instead of normal sized ones. He told me he hadn't

I think its a good thing they are reducing the size, they may be tasty but they arent good for you are they.
That's irrelevant, really. Why not make them 1cm long then and charge £1 with the excuse that they're unhealthy for you? If I want a full size Crunchie, I want a full size one not a fun size one.

I spoke to Jeremy beadle about that once. He said they really are small now. But on the other hand they're quite large.KFC said:
